The US State Department threatened Russia with serious consequences for the incident in the Kerch Strait.

On the website of the American Foreign Ministry was published a statement by an American official who threatened Russia "Pain and consequences" for the illegal capture of Ukrainian warships in the Kerch Strait.

“We want the Russians to take the message that they need to free the crew, otherwise there will be consequences, and the pain will only get stronger over time”, - the report says.

What exactly does a US official mean by "Pain and consequences", so far remains unknown, but Russia's position on the incident in the Kerch Strait remains unchanged - Ukrainian warships illegally invaded Russia's territorial waters, and therefore, emergency measures were taken that resulted in the shelling and seizure of two armored carriers and one raid tug of the Naval Forces of Ukraine.

Experts, in turn, argue that any US measures will lead to an immediate response and will only exacerbate tensions in the region, creating a lot of problems for Ukraine and for Europe.
